On July 23, 2024, the San Francisco Giants claimed him off waivers. On August 3, Hill was on the move again, as he was claimed off waivers by the Miami Marlins.

 

A Katy, Texas native, Myers was originally selected in the sixth round of the 2017 draft by the Detroit Tigers out of Rice University. The outfielder spent 2017-2022 in the Tigers farm system, reaching as far as Triple-A Toledo. On December 7, 2022, he was selected in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft by the Marlins. In 2023, he played in 49 games with Double-A Pensacola before being promoted to Jacksonville on June 8. In 51 games with the Jumbo Shrimp, Myers slashed .339/.417/.516 with 65 hits, 37 RBIs, and eight home runs.

 

On July 3, 2023 he got the call to the big leagues and made his MLB debut on July 4 at loanDepot park against the St. Louis Cardinals. Myers went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI.

In 22 games with Miami in 2023, he slashed .269/.286/.358 with 18 hits and nine RBIs. He started the 2024 season with Jacksonville. In 25 games with the Jumbo Shrimp, Myers hit .237/.336/.323 with 22 hits and 18 runs scored. On April 28, he was recalled to the Marlins.

  The golf world and the world in general lost one of its most incredible women with the passing of Kathy Whitworth yesterday. Kathy was a champion in the truest sense of the word, both on the golf course and off. In the short time I spent with Kathy, I was truly blown away by her and her approach to the game and to life. Her strength, insightfulness and vibrancy were obvious from the minute you met her! She inspired me as a young girl and now as the commissioner and I know she did the same for so many others. We all mourn with Bettye, her family and the entire golf world.” – LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan (From the LPGA) By Ron Sirak The dining room at Trophy Club Country Club near Flower Mound, Texas, gazes upon the rolling hills and old oak trees through which two courses meander, one named for the club’s most famous member, Kathy Whitworth, the other the lone design by the icon of Texas golf, Ben Hogan.

"You do what you have to do to win the football game. It doesn't matter if you start from the 1, the 2 ... you just stick to the process play-by-play, move the chains, move the chains and put the ball in the end zone," the third-year sophomore said. "That doesn't just speak to me, it speaks to our entire group," Nussmeier added. "You can't do it by yourself. And to go 98 yards with the game on the line, that means a lot to me. To be the leader of the offense, that matters more." Stepping in to make his f
